It is designed to make Agile web application development as effective and simple as possible.

Weblocks uses powerful Lisp features like multiple dispatch, the metaobject protocol, lexical closures, keyword arguments, and macros to build abstractions that make web development easy, intuitive, and free of boilerplate. In addition, control flow is easily expressed using continuations.

Things that are hard or mundane in other frameworks become easy and fun in Weblocks.
